A video

We find entertainment where we find it, now don't we? Hawkeye has a few tricks up his sleeve, but there is one he can't master. Lucy has mastered that one alone. Go figure. They make up for each others' weaknesses, I guess. They'll both do most anything for popcorn.

The sound seems to be "off" from the video. I don't know if it will stay that way, and I don't know if it's just this computer that sees it that way. Kevin seems to reward the dogs before they do the trick! LOL That's positive thinking, huh? If it appears that way to you, just know that there is a youtube issue.

Beautiful Saturday Bliss!

I love Saturday. I slept about 10 hours, if you count the time spent on the couch last night before Kevin kicked me in the head and told me to go to bed. (ok, maybe he said, "honey? let's go to bed." but it's the same thing, right?)

I awoke, made two pots of coffee (gotta love a carafe that you can take right to the computer desk, huh?) and sat at the computer, catching up on blogs, journals and email. Total relaxation. The house is a mess, and so much needs to be done, so I emailed Mom to make sure they'd be home today. I need somewhere to go so I don't feel guilty about the mess.

If you ever spend some time at my house, here is a piece of advice for free: Don't take a shower while the washer is going and dishes are being done, right after the 18 year old boy has showered. I knew this rule, but did it anyway. By the end, I had the cold turned off and it was barely warm enough to tolerate, but the shower made me feel better, anyway.

Wanna know what makes it hard for Kevin to navigate the World Wide Web? This does:

He asked that I not post this, since he hasn't showered and his hair is messed up, but let's be fair...Lucy hasn't showered either!

I hope your weekend is as awesome as mine has begun!

A great day!

If you get a chance, and don't see my AOL journal (lets face it, both of you readers see my AOL journal) here is a link to an entry that I'm quite proud of. It was a great day!

Howlin' wind

I'm thinking I should turn up the radio. Is there anything more lonesome sounding than wind howling? It just keeps blowing and blowing this morning, without letting up at all. I have a window in my bedroom that rattles, and I woke up wondering what in the heck I was hearing.

I'm ready for spring. Where are the flowers? What happened to the sun? How much longer until the girls ask to play in the sprinkler? What month will bring our first complaints about the electric bill? LOL

Snow is pretty...postcard pretty...but for the first time in a long time, we've had a real winter. And I've had enough!

Snow?

How much snow will we get? Meteorologist Rachel predicts 2" here at home, and 2.5" at work. I'm just sayin'. I think I could do better than those hacks on T.V.

Which city am I?

You scored as Rio de Janeiro. You are Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! People probably consider you to be fun and outgoing. You have a contagious, colorful personality. Rio de Janeiro 60% Provo 55% Killarney 55% Paris 30% Boston 30% Which city shares your personality? created with QuizFarm.com

Yeah, right. Whatever!

Well, let's get more serious

I think it's time to start learning more of the features here. AOL has lost my pictures, and they've been gone for almost a week. I'll lose 2/3 of my readers if I make this change, but that's really only 2 people, so who cares, right?

I'm going to keep playing here, so I'll be ready when AOL craps out completely.
